I need to add history points in search pages of my application. The search is executed inside a RadAjaxPanel and displays the results in a RadGrid. When the user selects and item in the RadGrid they are sent to another page. When the user clicks the browser back button the RadGrid is empty. So I need to add a history point to re-populate the RadGrid.

Below is some code from a very simple test app that is similar to the architecture of my application. The RadScriptManager is in a master page and with a textbox and button in a user control.

When I place the textbox and button inside an UpdatePanel the Ajax EnableHistory works but the same code does not work with RadAjaxPanel. I have also tried using RadAjaxManager which also does not work. History points are added successfully using RadAjaxPanel and the ScriptManagerProxy.Navigate fires, but the textbox is not updated.

UpdatePanel has an Update method to force an update when its UpdateMode is Conditional but RadAjaxPanel does not have an Update method which is probably why UpdatePanel works.

What can I do to get the EnableHistory feature to work with RadAjaxPanel?

Thanks
Nate

Hello Nate,

You can try using the RaisePostBackEvent() method of the RadajaxPanel control to ensure the textbox is updated. You can read more about this here.

I hope this helps.

RaisePostBackEvent seemed to have the same effect as UpdatePanel.Update. The value of my textbox was updated.

 

 

Private Sub scriptMgr_Navigate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.HistoryEventArgs) Handles scriptMgr.Navigate

 

Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000)

txt.Text = e.State(txt.ID)

 

'updPanel.Update() 'not available with RadAjaxPanel

 

ajxPanel.RaisePostBackEvent(

Nothing)

 

 

End Sub

Thanks
Nate
